Custom UIBB Not Visible in sap mdg fpm

HI Experts,

I have an issue as below and request to guide me on the same. Thanks.

I have a custom uibb in mdg for Customer where OVP is mapped with personalization.

When we create a customer, custom uibb is not visible in screen but when we do a 'reset to default' then the custom uibb is visible.

I close the window completely, then i create a new customer...again the custom uibb is not available.

Can i know the start place where all the uibb begins in terms of some standard class/methods.

On top it, do i need to do any additional settings in system for personalization. Thanks.

Regards,

KArthik S

Hi Karthk,

the FPM OVP floorplan normally stores the layout (regarding the expanded/ collapsed state and the hidden state) as personalization when leaving the application. However, there might be interferences in the case that your application changes the layout programmatically at runtime by calling the OVP runtime API. In particular, in the given case, the runtime API methods IF_FPM_OVP->CHANGE_UIBB and IF_FPM_OVP->REMOVE_UIBB are relevant. Please check whether your application calls these methods with respect to your custom UIBB.
Another interference might occur in the case that you have used the implicit personalization of Web Dynpro which can be accessed via the context menu by doing a right mouse-click on a UI element on the end user UI. Here, its is possible to hide UI elements. Please reset this implicit personalization (it can be done in the context menu as well).

Best regards,
Jens

Hi Karthik, just due a right mouse-click, choose 'More...' and on the displayed dialog box click on 'Reset User Setting for Running Application'.

I don't understand your question. What do you mean with 'Reset Cache'?

Hi Jen, I mean from "Configuration Analysis: Search Personalizations and Customizings" and 'Reset Cache' option .

I don't think that this will have an effect.

Hi Jen, Thanks for reply. I tried in mentioned IF_FPM_OVP->CHANGE_UIBB , where in field hidden is not 'X' during the debug flow. Then i deleted the personalization as well. Can i know is there any additional setting i need to check in the system. Thanks for supporting on this.

HI Kartik, I don't know of anything else. If UIBBs are not visible in the OVP which should be visible, then the root cause are either runtime changes that are done by the application or explicit or implicit personalization.
